Can you install MS Office in Linux OS?

Hello Julie,

I'm a bit confused on whether your question is how to install MS Office in Linux or if your concern is opening MS Office documents in Linux.

If you are asking if it is possible to install MS Office in Linux without Wine or any third-party tool then the definite answer is "No, you cannot". Without going into the technicalities of why it is not possible, a quick look at Microsoft's website shows that Microsoft's Office products do not list Linux as a supported operating system. If the difficulty of using Wine to install MS Office is a big problem for you, then you could try "PlayOnLinux". It is based on Wine but it greatly simplifies the process of installation for those who do not have Linux expertise.

If your concern is opening MS Office documents only, then OpenOffice or LibreOffice are more than capable of opening and editing MS Office documents.

Your answers greatly helped me. I guess it's not possible to install a third-party software for MS Office. With the two options you've given me, I tried out "play on linux" since it's easier to install. And, it actually worked. I got to install MS Office through this software and view MS docs.
